DIVORCE AND RELIGIONS
Religion and Divorce:
Many countries in Europe had prohibited divorce, as it is not allowed by by the Catholic Church. Sometimes citizens traveled to other jurisdictions to obtain a divorce. No Catholic Church will remarry divorced person. Unless they previously have their marriage annulled, which is only possible in some circumstances. In Islam it is permissible to divorce, in the Islamic Law and Marital Jurisprudence, divorce is accepted and referred to as Talaq. Indian religion do not accept divorce.

Countries views:
In the some countries (commonly in Europe and North America), the government defines and administers marriages and divorces. While ceremonies mat be performed by religious officials on behalf of the state, a civil marriage and thus, civil divorce (without the involvement of a religion) is also possible. Due to differing standards and procedures, a couple can be legally unmarried, or divorced by the states definition, but have a different status as defined by a religious order. Other countries use religious law to administer marriages and divorce, eliminating this distinction. In these cases, religious officials are generally responsible for interpretation and implementation.
Islam allows divorce, and it can be initiated by either the husband or the wife. However, the initiation are subject to certain conditions and waiting periods, which are meant to force the initiating party to reconsider.
Dharmic religions do not allow divorce. Christian views of divorce vary, with Catholic teaching allowing only annulment, but most other denominations discouraging but allowing divorce. Jewish views of divorce differ, with reform Judaism considering civil divorces adequate. Conservative and Orthodox Judaism require that the husband grant his wife a divorce in the form of a get.
The Millet System, where each religious group regulation its own marriages and divorce, is still present in varying degrees in some post-Ottoman countries like Iraq, Syria, Jordan, Lebanon, Israel, the Palestinian Authority, Egypt, and Greece. Several countries use Sharia (Islamic Law) to administrate marriages and divorces for Muslims. Thus, marriage in Israel is administered separately by each religious community (Jews, Christians,Muslims, and Druze), and there is no provision for interfaith marriages others than marrying in another country. For Jews, marriages and divorce are administered by Orthodox rabbis. Partners can file for divorce either in rabbinical court or Israel civil court.
